Good afternoon. I've been trying to install FreeDOS 1.2 on an ancient AST Bravo MS-T 4/66d with a 486 DX2 66MHz CPU that I've fixed up, but have run into an issue that really makes no sense. Essentially, when I go to install, it doesn't see the disk and the message "No fixed disk present" displays all over the screen.
Then a message pops up saying, "Drive C: does not appear to be partitioned. Do you want to partition your drive?" Selecting yes seemingly does nothing as when I reboot and try again, I get the same error. After exiting to DOS, I try running fdisk, and I get the same message. Strangely, when I run "vinfo /v /d C:", it displays "Drive is ready". I did read that you might have this issue if you have a disk controller add-in card installed, which I do and I need it because physical damage to the MoBo made it so the built-in floppy controller can't properly detect the drive (any drive). However, I use the built-in HDD controller for my IDE-to-CF card adapter. I've used MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows boot disks before with no problems. Can anyone tell me what's going on here? Is there anything I can do to get around this? Thanks in advance! -Stephen
